Bravery Every Day

I can tell you personally about being dared to do something stupid and then doing it. Perhaps you can share personally too, but did you know that Jesus was dared. It is true, Satan dared Him to change rocks into bread just to prove who He was. I was dared to show that I wasn't chicken, Jesus was dared to show that He was indeed the Son of God. Satan then tries to dare Jesus using the word of God and still Jesus is having none of it. Then Satan says that he will give Jesus everything if He will bow down and worship him.

Satan shows that all along he was trying to trick Jesus into doing what he wanted him to do. Isn't that what most dares are all about?

Every day bravery is being brave all the time and being able to stand up against those who try to trick us with a dare. We show more bravery when we actually stand up to a dare than when we give in to a dare.

Psalm 31:24 tells us that we should not give up in our bravery, be strong, because God will be here soon. Stand firm and God will back you up when you need Him.

I believe this verse and I believe that God will be here to back me up. Don;t take a dare to show how brave you are, refuse a dare to show how brave you are.
